MADISON - David Gilbert may only be 18 years of age, but the sophomore defensive end looks and plays like a seasoned veteran. As spring turns to summer, Gilbert is looking to add 20 more pounds to his frame in time for the season opener.[details]

Personal: Parents are Anthony and Dawn Schofield … uncle, Andre Carter, played football at Clemson (1992-96) … cousin, Bobby Engram, was a star receiver at Penn State and played in the NFL for the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears … another cousin, Vonnie Holiday, played football at North Carolina and later in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs ... major is afro-american studies

An undersized defensive lineman, Schofield lacks power in his base and struggles taking on blocks in the run game. He does a nice job keeping his pad level down when slanting across the face of opposing linemen. But he ends up on the ground too much and doesn't look like an every-down lineman in the NFL. Exhibiting a good first step off the ball as a pass rusher, Schofield displays natural flexibility out of his stance. Possesses a long set of arms and does a great job of using his hands to slip blocks. Displays a powerful initial slap on contact and has the body control to cleanly come up under opposing lineman on his inside move. Very laterally gifted off the edge, he also showcases natural balance as an edge rusher. He does a nice job maintaining his balance when flattening out around the corner. Showcases the ability to drop his pad level and accelerate toward the quarterback. But he lacks ideal awareness and, at times, will come of the snap count slow. Struggled to make the transition to outside linebacker at Wisconsin because of his instincts in space. But he definitely has some impressive pass-rushing ability. He looks like a guy who could make a living as a nickel rusher in the NFL.
